1 o all whom may concern:

lie it known that l, ANDREW W. LIV NG e'rozv, s citizen of the United States, residi land, in the county of Alameda and State of California, have invented certain. new {ml useful improvements in Vehicle l s, oi? which the following s 1 specification.

This invention relates to an improved tyne oi' hub which is used in connection with wheel having a spoke structure formed from a blank which is crimped to form radial corrugations and forms a divisions} application divided out of case it; hearing Serial No. 651,200.

This invention is illustrated in the ac- :zompanying drawings, wherein.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a Wheel provided with the improved hub. Fig 2 is a transverse sectional View through the Wheel. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the hub.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, it Will be seen that this invention comprises a hub 10 which carries a flange 11 from which there extends the fingers lit the iingers being arranged in diverging relation.

so that they are flared shown in Fig, 2. plate 13 is fitted upon the r duced end for M n?! the 1 dueed end. This plateoczzrri tigers 16 which are similar to the iii veen the fingers so 1 riig Ell s upon the hub tween the i olate When the spoke upon the hub, the li seen the corrugations 17 as nd the plate i3 is th n ere ted end of the hu into the corrugations i! one. oeuveen the fingers 12. Bolts 19 are passed through the flange 11 and plate 13, and the securing nuts are tightened so that the spoke structure Will be very securely clamped in position. It should be noted that the spoke structure is formed from resilient material so that when the bolts 19 are tightened the spoke structure Will cause the plate to have a tendency to move away from the flange and thus create a nut lock securing the nuts of the bolts and thus preventing them from Working loose.

Having thus described my invention, what ll claim is In a Wheel the combination of it spoke structure formed from a disk provided with a central opening and having radiating cor-,

and c 1' i -;liagonally between the fin t ers urst mentioned plate to interlock ame, and means connecting; said was second mentioned plates to hold l lush and second mentioned plate at hub structure.

whereof I affix my sign;-
